I made these simple, brunchy Strawberry and Ricotta Shortcakes for my friends last weekend. They were a major hit. We chilled out on my roof, sipped pineapple mimos, and devoured every bit of the food I had prepared.
Cold Weather Uniform
Streamline your life, and your wardrobe, when you can. This is my advice to you. Clutter doesn't bring anyone legitimate joy. It weighs us down and frankly makes things more complicated than they have to be. I often have trouble pairing down my closet in the summer.

Blue Velvet
Lana once wrote a song about a girl who wore blue velvet. She croons on about the velvet that was bluer than the night and the girl's eyes, which were also bluer than the velvet she wore. I've always loved the song. Call it self-indulgence, but I connected to it. To me, the song was about me.
Black & Yellow
It's been a long time since I last shared an outfit on my blog. Since then, a lot has happened. I'm currently recovering from my time as a red head with some strawberry blonde locks.

Dad's Classic Old Fashioned
If my father is behind the bar at a party or family dinner you will likely find him smiling while muddling a bit of cherry and orange together in a glass.

Flower Power.
I love this simple outfit because the blue flowers in the top play so well with the color of the denim. The throwback detail at the bottom of these jeans is perfect and really helps to add something extra to a simple look.
Palms & patchwork.
